Stable value funds are a staple in many 401(k) plans, offering principal protection and steady returns by investing in high-quality bonds. They're particularly popular with participants nearing retirement who want to reduce market risk while still earning a competitive yield. But recent market conditions and interest rate changes have raised new considerations for these low-risk options.In this episode of the 401(k) Specialist Podcast, Matt Condos, Senior Vice President of Retirement Plan Services Product Solutions at Lincoln Financial, provides insights on stable value's role in today's retirement landscape, how it compares to money market funds during periods of rising interest rates, and the contract features—like put provisions—that plan sponsors and advisors need to understand. He also examines evolving product designs aimed at improving liquidity and transparency while still offering the stability participants expect.Three Key InsightsUnderstanding Put Provisions and Liquidity NeedsAdvisors and plan sponsors must understand put provisions, which delay withdrawals during plan-level changes. With increased scrutiny on liquidity, new short-duration stable value products with transparent crediting rates are emerging to offer flexibility without sacrificing security.Stable Value Funds Offer Long-Term StabilityStable value funds continue to play a critical role in retirement portfolios by providing principal protection and steady returns—especially during times of market volatility. Participants nearing retirement particularly value the stability and predictable growth these products offer.Misconceptions vs. Money Market FundsAlthough money market funds can temporarily outperform stable value funds when short-term rates spike, stable value typically outpaces money markets over the long term. Their ability to amortize rate changes and invest further along the yield curve offers strategic advantages.The views expressed are those of the speaker/writer and not necessarily those of any Lincoln Financial® affiliate.

Since this episode was recorded, it is with great sadness that I found out that Dan Steffensen passed away on July 26, 2025. Obituary information for Dan SteffensenAward-winning author and professor A.J. Otjen joins Rich to unpack “Burned Over,” the true story of Montana firefighter Dan Steffensen, who survived a 60-foot wall of fire and an agonizing road to recovery. They explore Red Lodge's “summer of hell,” the honor guard, the nurses and burn survivors who rallied behind Dan, and the hard-won lessons about asking for help, resilience, and community.

I'm your host, Josh Hadley. Today I'm speaking with Roland Frasier, a serial entrepreneur. And we will be talking about business acquisitions, strategic relationships and marketing as different levers that you can pull to help take your business to the next level for our audience. So ecommerce entrepreneurs here. Ideally, in that seven figure range, they've probably just crossed that seven figure mark. Right. And they may or may not have hit a plateau. Right. But they know that they want to make a lasting impact in the world. They know that their business has a lot of potential, but maybe they don't know exactly what the next steps are, or they're looking for different levers that they can pull to maybe get to that eight figure mark or grow and expand. tell me how acquisitions fit with inside of, you know, being able to scale and grow a business.Roland Frasier 00:00:54  Yeah. So I think acquisitions are if you look at what do the wealthiest, most successful players on the planet do? They acquire companies.Roland Frasier 00:01:05  They generally are not inventing things. They are finding people who have done something that they feel could enhance their business, and then they're acquiring from those people. Whatever it is they built. And what one of the tools that that kind of came out of teaching this is that I found there's really seven primary categories that can dramatically impact your ability to grow your business through acquisitions. The first one is what they call horizontal, integration, which is just acquiring your competitors. And that one seems like that one makes a lot of sense. But it's not just buying your competitors because like, if you want to double your e-com business overnight, you and you're doing $5 million a year, go buy a $5 million e-commerce business, and you've instantly gone from 7 to 8 figures. Right now you're at ten. Yep. literally overnight, the day that you close the deal that's done. And being able to do that with little or no money out of pocket opens that avenue up, I think, to a lot more people.Roland Frasier 00:02:09  But it's not just acquire your competitors. It's well, who are the indirect competitors? Like who are the people that have substitute products or services for mine? And then you think you can go out and say, well, now what is it that I want to solve for problem wise? And so if you want to, if you want instant growth by your competitors, right. But if you want, let's say that you're just like, man, if I had more leads, I'd be able to really take off with this. Well then media is your play. Go acquire media. If you acquire media, particularly as the costs on Facebook and Instagram and a lot of places Google have gone up and are continuing to go up, like customer acquisition cost is a real challenge for a lot of people these days. But if you go out and acquire your own media and that can be, it doesn't have to be like you go buy a television network. It can be. You go and buy a newsletter or a group or a podcast or some other thin...
